Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS Basics & Theory 1–52
When the photosensitive drum door opens, the shutter lever is released,
and the waste toner shutter of the photoconductor closes so that the
waste toner is no longer exhausted.
The waste toner level is detected by the waste toner sensor (PS12)
housed in the disposal box cover assembly. When the waste disposal
box gets full, the DC controller notifies the I/O controller of the waste
toner full condition and stops the printer.
